Moore didn't opt out. He said he was going to and then came back.

Unfortunately he missed the first 3 games of the year as he tweaked a lower body injury and then only got 3 games because Purdue lost 2 of their scheduled 8 due to COVID. At that point Purdue's season was in a tailspin, the defense was toast, and it was a screwy season in so many ways.

In those three games, he notched 35 catches for 270 yards (no TD's) and 6 rushes for 32 yards. No TDs though. Definitely pretty solid stats in general, but all three games were losses (to MN, Rutger, and UNL) and nobody gave a crap about what Purdue was doing at that point so nobody watched. It paled in comparison to his opening salvo of 313 all-purpose yards against Nebraska in the 2018 opener and embarrassing the entire Ohio State defense on national TV in a night game in 2018.

Those games were so immaterial that you'd forgotten that he hadn't opted out, but 35 catches for 270 yards is not like he didn't perform.
I definitely forgot he played last year, lol

Is Pittsburgh’s Week 1 win Vs Buffalo an oddity? We’re only two games into the season but the Steelers are getting outgained by the opponent’s offense by an average of just over 100 more yards. And worse, Big Ben looks older and his OL looks slower into the latter stages of each game, which can’t bode well when there’s so little support from the ground game, so far averaging only 57 yds/game – good for dead last in the NFL. Drafting Najee Harris at Running Back is doing more for the passing game the rushing game at this point – 43 yds receiving Vs 38 yds rushing this past Sunday Vs the Raiders.

Defense will only carry this body bag of an offense so far. Loser of this Sunday’s upcoming Steelers-Bengals showdown finishes last in the division.

The Steelers are breaking in a brand new OL with a couple rookie starters.  One of the would be starters was injured prior to the season. It's going to take until week 8 or so to get that together.

The defense was missing 4 starters vs LV.  Watt, Bush, and Haden were new to that list.

Its hard to overcome those things.  This is going to be the opposite of last year's 11-0 start.  This team will get hot late in the season.

For my NFL Survivor Pool I’m picking the Panthers over the Texans tonight as my lock of the week.

Without Tyrod Taylor (not to mention Deshaun Watson) the Texans are starting rookie Davis Mills who only made about a dozen unremarkable starts while at Stanford before getting drafted mostly due to his physical build.

don't look now but Panthers 3-0 with impressive back-to-back 19 pt & 15 pt wins over the Saints and Texans.

Wasn't sure they'd get 3 wins all-season. Already there at 3-0 and Darnold has looked much better than I thought possible. Maybe the Jets really are just one of those Detroit Lions like franchises that brings all the players down and are just a sad sack of shit franchise.

Didn't look like Ravens got the prior play off in time.  Should have been 71 yard attempt.  But Lions deserve to lose for that 4th and 19 defense

66 yards is too easy in a dome for him, been wanting him to try from 70
